PROGRAM CONTENT
ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN TRACK
The Architecture and Design track focuses on creating an immersive experience into the processes of design. The schedule is comprised of a series of hands-on exercises, lectures and class talks that will allow the participants to explore different layers of the profession. The students will be exposed to both digital and analogue tools as well as theoretical concepts that make a good design. After short introductions to devices and techniques, students can begin to produce their own designs (via sketches,
3d modelling, laser cutting, 3d printing and photography). Extracurricular visits are organised to provide inspiration and add depth of understanding into the world of architecture and design. All the work done during the summer school will be concentrated into individual student portfolios that each participant can later use to advance their career paths.

MARKETING, COMMUNICATION & BEHAVIOR TRACK
In today’s world, consumers are constantly receiving multiple messages. No matter in which direction we turn, an ad is trying to sell us something: from a new political party to an up and coming social media platform; from the hottest Netflix series to a jeans brand. You name it… Thousands of messages blur our vision as audiences and consumers are more resilient to such messages. Engaging audiences and understanding the brand customer journey in a world of clutter is one of the greatest challenges for the current generation of Marketing Communication professionals. Behavioral science is critical to understanding why humans react to certain messages the way that they do and the optimal way to influence change in consumer behavior. Getting a message across in the world of content saturation and being able to engage in a conversation with audiences will be the central theme of the “Marketing Communication and Behavior” summer course.
